  • RichardBlakley · Been cashing tickets on Rosie since early days in Maryland, through Louisiana and New York--great to see her get the Oaks, even better that she is fully recovered from injuries with a long and brilliant career ahead of her, and getting recognized where it really counts--getting top rides from top outfits. All due respect to M. Gutierrez, J. Talamo, J. Leparoux--Rosie is as good a rider as any of them, and look for her to continue to prove it @ Belmont and Saratoga. · 18 days ago ·

  • Mary Z. · So maybe he will be able to buy a well-bred yearling and have another HOTY. Selling HDG does not equate to not caring about her or not being appreciative of her accomplishments. It also is not a death sentence even if she were to go to Japan. I might just comment that I'm hungry next time someone goes off on that tangent. As for BL, I'll take the word of someone who cared for her on a daily basis over a newspaper report. · 32 days ago ·

  • Mary Z. · buckpasser, I once thought this website was great for photos of favorites and just fun, but I enjoy the blogs very much here, plus some kidding is allowed, but strange personal attacks are deleted. About BL or any other horse for that matter. What's reported is sometimes very different that what is said by those who are looking right at the horse everyday. I look forward to your posts, especially when we agree. ha ha. · 32 days ago ·

  • buckpasser · Thanks Mary. Always enjoy your posts as well. In all seriousness, I think we agree more than we don't.. And you are right about what is reported is many times very different from what is known by those who know a particular horse.. Take care Mary. Wish you the best always. And NO sarcasm in that statement · 32 days ago ·

  • footlick · Mary Z.- obviously Summer Guest could. And in the Jockey Gold Cup, Shuvee could. And a little later, obviously, Lady's Secret. All ran against stronger males. You can put her in whatever historical perspective you want. The topic is closed for me. No more comments other than Euros from now on. And painting is not weary-making. It is actually energizing. But commissions need to get done on time. Take care. · 43 days ago ·

Reigning Horse of the Year Havre de Grace galloped a mile and a half on the Keeneland training track early Thursday morning with trainer Larry Jones in the saddle. “This is her third day down there,” Jones said. “She jogged the day she got here on Tuesday and then galloped a mile on Wednesday. The training track has more cushion on it and I am taking all my horses down there. She is not getting any special treatment.”
The horse racing community is pretty tight, unlike any other sport, in my opinion. I think our turf writers generally like participants, and their horses. Some of them write usually glowingly about a performance, or a training or riding job, and quite a few gloss over the opposite. In contrast,… Read More
Where have all of the non-US horses gone from the Active Power Rankings? Black Caviar is still rated 8.21 and Frankel is also still up there. ???
